Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has revealed to ISPreview that the start of pre-loading for the GTA VI video game, which began at midnight Tuesday (10th Nov 2026), drove around a 33% increase in downstream traffic across their national broadband network versus an average Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The hotly anticipated game is known to have a file size of around 212 GigaBytes<\/strong> (PS5), albeit varying a bit between different game console platforms. Overall Openreach<\/a> saw elevated demand visible throughout the day and particularly overnight\/late evening, which is roughly consistent with what other ISPs have been reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The traffic data is recorded in PetaBytes (PB). 1 PB is equal to 1,000 TeraBytes (TB) or 1,000,000 GigaBytes (GB). For context, an average sized 4K video stream uses around 3 \u2013 8GB per hour (varying significantly due to factors such as compression level, codec choice, video content etc.).<\/div>\n

\"Openreach<\/p>\n

The network operator also shared a detailed hour-by-hour breakdown of how their overall network traffic differed when compared with a regular Tuesday, which is a lot more interesting to see than the limited data so far provided by a small number of retail ISPs.<\/p>\n

The usual Content Delivery Networks<\/strong> (CDN), which often cache popular content closer in the network to end-users, should by now be helping to balance the strain. In theory this will soften a bit over the next few days as initial pre-loads complete, but there\u2019s also the high possibility of release day (19th November) bringing a day-1 patch and higher than usual load from those who haven’t pre-ordered.<\/p>\n

Total 24 Hour Network Traffic – 10th Nov 2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
